If that goal happens in MLS then it is shocking defending in a Mickey Mouse league. **** Eurosnobs. Good for Kei.

People that complain about this are just as annoying. There's plenty of shocking defending in the premier league, and no one would say otherwise. I'm not sure wtf Fellaini was doing there.

But the sooner every mls fan gets over this instinctive need to be defensive, the better we'll all be. Especially for a league that has no problem loaning its best players and moving around their schedules at the whim of whatever "eurosnob" team will take enough money to come play their reserves.

I wish a lot of them would spend less time complaining about soccer supporters not taking them seriously and more time complaining about the mls leadership not taking them seriously.

I won't quit as long as I keep seeing all of these "Machester United/Chelsea/Barcalona fans" who dont do shit to support their domestic league and then wonders why our national team falls flat on its face every 4 years.

US soccer fans who look down on MLS deserve the failure the national team they love constantly gives them. OH BUT HEYZ MAN CITY FOR LYFE

Aside from the fact that there is nothing untrue about my characterization of how like happenings are interpreted.

There's a lot of blame to go around. I agree that developing a strong club culture is important. The MLS leadership has a responsibility there as well, both to the product they put on the pitch and the respect they show the supporters. If I was out in New England, I think I would have a hard time giving a shit. I did here when Hunt owned the team.

Blaming USMNT supporters for the national team not doing well? I think that's a bit of a logical leap.

But the MLS inferiority complex gets old. You can support your local club while recognizing there are leagues around the world miles beyond where MLS is.

I have begun taking it upon myself to educate the soccer fans I know who still think the MLS is a pub league. Guys like Holden, Espinoza, Kei, Cameron, Beckham (still performing at high level in europe), etc. are squashing that stigma.

We have to be vigilant, my friends. Domestic soccer fans should know about the quality of our league

No one thinks MLS is a pub league. But it all comes down to money. Until MLS starts getting real television contracts and becomes active in the international transfer market, it simply won't be a big league. Unfortunately, it's a bit of a chicken and the egg scenario.
